Name this game- 194ron ? Tr-42 ?? Argghh !!!!
tommyinajar:
Ok I got this cabinet that is a horrible, horrible, conversion, to the TRON guys anyway :) The midway part of the power supply is now missing, spinner is gone, and the harness has been re soldered on the jamma end to fit the 1942 board. Paint looks to be dumped over the original artwork and the ROMSTAR sticker applied over the runny black paint. It came with some Tron PCB's ( I'm doubtful about them working) the monitor w/ 1942 burn is there, wiring intact, flight stick looks to be in very good shape, minus the "fire" sticker, and the wood is in what I can only say excellent shape.
OK 1,000,000 question - What in the heck do I do with it ?
Mame it ?
Strip it ?
Anyone need a Tron cabinet to swap parts into ?
I also grabbed a Pole Position that seems to be all there, Minus the PCB and monitor , I do have a PPII board that came with it, with typical edge connector burn. The wood looks excellent again, artwork 97% intact (don't mind the dirt)- Looks like it just came out of an arcade and is a few years old. I really hate to see this one wasted. I think it's make a great pp/ppII cab but my skill , time and funds are lacking to repair the power supply, PCB board, and controls on a 28 year old coin-op. At worst I suppose a 360 mame cab , but I don't know if I can or should.
input?

Both those cabs would be great restoration projects. If I were you, I'd restore the Tron and sell the Pole Position help pay for it.
If the wood is good as you say, that's a great start. The coin door is easily restore-able. The bezel looks good, the monitor burn doesn't look bad. Get a spinner to accompany your good-condition original tron stick...
Do the right thing. Help Flinn....end of line.

Please don't MAME the Pole Position... :'(

I'd do a non-destructive MAME on the Pole Position if it were me. You can use the current controls and such that are in there to make a nice driving cab. If you change your mind, you can always take the MAME stuff out later and put a PCB back in.
